95 Malibu check engine light and vibrates when starting

Unread post by Darlin9694 » Sat Oct 09, 2010 4:50 am

My next door neighbor wanted me to ask about his car since I was checking on ours. He has a 1995 Chev Malibu and the check engine light is on and the car vibrates really bad every time they start it. Any ideas on what the issue is?

The check engine light can come on for many reasons. If you cars vibrating then most likely have engine misfire. If the misfire was bad enough check engine might even flash. Many things can cause the engine misfire. It could be a problem in the mission system, like a bad spark plug or plug wire or ignition coil. Could also be a problem with the fuel injector. The scan for computer codes is the first step to diagnosing this problem. Most of the large national Park store chains will scan your computer for free.
